Don’t forget to “spring”
your clocks forward one hour this weekend. The official time to set your clock
forward is 2:00 am Sunday morning March 14th. Did you know daylight savings time began in
1918? The original goal was to reduce the usage of incandescent lighting, a
primary use of electricity at the time. Read
more about day light savings time here.
Daylight savings time is a great reminder to take care of some home maintenance items. Chances are your furnace has been working hard all winter to keep you warm and comfortable. Now is a good time to change the filter and think about having your A/C serviced so it is ready for those hot summer days that are right around the corner. You should test and change the batteries in your smoke detectors at least once a year. Many suggest twice a year. Make daylight savings time your “built-in” reminder.
